I wholeheartedly agree with Angie. I am also only giving a second star because of the house. My Dad & I visited the Charlotte Museum of History after my cousin's wedding today, what a HUGE disappointment. $10 to look at printed out posters, a miniature of colonial Charlotte & 4 or 5 artifacts (a few guns & a sword, no Native American artifacts whatsoever) (also includes a tour of a colonial house) How is that a museum??? The gift shop had more in it than the museum. It is a huge building & the majority of it isn't being utilized. We asked where all of the artifacts were? Their answer, in storage or on loan (where no one can see it). I see why they had to shut down 2 years ago if this is the quality they display. My dad mentioned that my personal collection is so much better than anything that place had & I agree. Mine is 100 times better! This also reinforces why I am very wary to donate anything to a museum. I would hate to donate something & it be put in storage where no one can enjoy it. I think I'll hold onto everything & sell it to private collectors before I die. At least then I know it will be cared for & appreciated. Charlotte has torn most of it's history down & represented it very poorly in their huge museum with nothing in it! It's very telling of the attitude Charlotte has towards history. SIf you want to know the history of Charlotte there are plenty of resources online for free. OK, I'll get off my soap box now.
